Tree Decorating

The annual Christmas Tree is up in the Yonah Dinning Hall and students added ornaments as they headed to dinner Thursday evening.

Director of Greek Life and Campus Traditions, Debbie Thompson, was on hand in the Yonah lobby to help students deck the tree with Brenau’s traditional ornaments, some of which have been with the school since the ’70s.

The tree, which nearly reaches Yonah’s ceiling, is covered in ornaments, most of which have been made by former Brenau students, and white lights to brighten the day of any student, faculty of staff member who might pass by.
